Dear all, I am looking for a supertalent for the role of Campaign Manager which is a highly rewarding function (pun intended). This is a fully remote position, although it would be great to be mostly situated in the Asian and European timezones. Check it out, spread it around. I appreciate it.

Well done to the Franc team! Was a pleasure to work with you on this. They are making investing in Bitcoin as easy as it gets. I’m thrilled to see other fintech’s and institutions building on VALR. Many more like this to come. Sebastian Patel Thomas Brennan Ashraf Stakala Hank Coetzee
July has been a big month 🚀 Dedicated to expanding the opportunities for our investors to diversify their portfolios, but still keeping the investing process simple and straightforward, we officially launched our Bitcoin Goal. By signing up, Franc users can invest in Bitcoin without the fuss of storing complex keys and setting up separate wallets and accounts. When looking for a platform to power this product, this is what our Head of Product, Ashraf Stakala, had to say: “𝘓𝘢𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤 𝘉𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘰𝘪𝘯 𝘎𝘰𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘝𝘈𝘓𝘙 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦.

Dear all, I’m looking forward to Foresight 2024 in Hong Kong to discuss Africa and Latin America as the next crypto frontiers, on behalf of VALR. Rather than just focusing on remittances or the uptake of Bitcoin and crypto against inflation, I believe the emerging markets offer a unique chance to bridge traditional finance and crypto networks and achieve levels of adoption and coherence not yet seen in the world's financial centers and developed economies. See you there! When: 11-12 August Tickets: https://lnkd.in/gMN8qs2F Hosted by: Foresight Ventures, Foresight News & The Block

We're very excited to be the first to list an AVAILUSDT perp on VALR, offering 5x leverage, all with very competitive fees (4bps taker | 0bps maker). What is Avail though? Avail is a cutting-edge web3 infrastructure layer that allows execution layers, like rollups like Arbitrum, to scale and interoperate efficiently, solving fragmentation challenges. Avail's plan to unify web3 comes in the form of a three-phase plan. This starts with a data availability base layer that offers scalable DA block space for rollups. This is followed and complemented by a permissionless verification hub to integrate rollups and chains and an economic security module to connect ecosystems across the web3 landscape.
